I agree too. XD

But seriously, only benefit with the G1 browser is that it allows you to "search" the page.
Like a text search? I would have though Safari would have that. Opera Mini has it. I'm looking forward to Fennec for Symbian, though.

Nope.

Latest firmwares (the 3.x) allows Copy+Paste, but search functions have not been implemented yet.
Well, they have, just not to the browser. Strange seeing as how Spotlight allows you to search Contacts, Mail, Calendar, and Notes... but not Safari. But in my opinion, that's still better than so many of the other phones out there seeing as how most of them don't even have a search function, let alone a pretty wide range of search abilities. Regardless, despite the fact that your opinion on the T-Mobile G1 being superior to the iPhone being pretty humorous, I guess it's a matter of opinion.

No no, you've got me wrong.

The G1 is not at all superior to the iPhone. I use an iPhone 3G and i wouldn't trade it for any fone currently in the market (except for the 3Gs).

Only problem with iPhone is the browser, yet its still the best browser currently out. Example is loading forums... It can download the data within a few seconds, but the layout and such takes too long for my tastes (though that can be attributed to the 128 MB ram and 410 MHz processor.)

Apart for the web browser, the iPhone is simply brilliant. The shape, size, capabilities, space and potential is still sky high. There is still potential in the iPhone. iPhone linux and bluetooth file sharing being two main points that have potential, but have not been completely explored.

I dont want to go off topic, but I just wanted to clarify my stance :3

The G1 is pretty neat. I can see it more as a "geek" phone than the mainstream iPhone. I'd really like it if the Android OS would eventually become as functional as a desktop OS.
Not very far away at all. Search windows 95 on Nokia N95. Well, actually, the Nokia N95 is a dual processor whilst the iPhone is single processor :O still though XD iPhone ftw
